Chapter 34: Body Is Starting To Get Hot (3)

“You’re not coming over?”

Pursing his lips lightly, He Yu looked at the darkening sky outside the window and said, “I can’t go there, I have something to do at home.”

He Yu’s report on the afternoon’s draft report was so well done that the team leader from New Zealand vividly remembered him, and He Yu was sorry to say that he couldn’t join them for dinner tonight because of family concerns. The team leader was a woman who was serious and demanding. On hearing him say he was going home to take care of his sick wife, she smiled and patted him on the shoulder to show appreciation and understanding.

After the handover was clear, He Yu went into his car and had the driver drive back home.

Su Qiuzi slept until past six o’clock, nestled under the covers, and she broke into a faint sweat. There were no lights on in the house, and it was very dark. Raising her hand to touch her forehead, it was starting to burn again. Dazed and sleepy, she knew she’d probably have to be hospitalized again tonight if she slept any longer. Thinking about it, she hurriedly got out of bed and prepared to eat something to put down the fever by eating the prescribed medicine.

Going to the kitchen, Su Qiuzi opened the refrigerator and took milk and cereal, ready to casually mix the two of them. As she was pouring the milk, there was a sound of the door opening, she glanced towards the door and He Yu walked in.

Some milk spilled out of her hand, and Su Qiuzi, dazed, brought her finger and sucked the milk dripping on her hand twice, then said, “You came back early today.”

On the kitchen counter was cold milk and cereal, and she braced herself and stood a little shakily. He Yu glanced down at them, answered and got up to go over. He lifted his hand and touched her forehead, which was burning up again. He Yu withdrew his hand and cleaned the milk from her hand, saying, “You go and rest first, I’ll make some porridge and call you when it’s done.”

Listening to He Yu’s words, Su Qiuzi felt that in his current situation, it would appear to be pretentious to be polite with him again. Nodding her head, she went to wait on the couch in the living room.#pleasereadthischapteratfoxaholic.com

The porridge was quickly cooked and it seemed very tasty, so Su Qiuzi took a small sip of the bowl. After drinking the porridge, she took the fever medicine and crawled back into bed to rest again. While eating just now, He Yu received another work call. He was really busy, but busy in a meaningful way, unlike her, who couldn’t even make a few bucks working all day.

With the recent Jingcheng Cross River Bridge project overlapping with the New Zealand Resort project, it’s been a very tiring two weeks. He hung up the phone, went to the bathroom, took a shower and got into bed.

As soon as He Yu got into bed, Su Qiuzi moved her body. She slept all afternoon and was still quite sober after taking her fever medication. Su Qiuzi, whose movements were still a bit clumsy, rolled over and got ready to get up. He Yu originally closed his eyes, and when he heard the movement, his eyes opened, and a pair of dark eyes looked at her quietly and asked, “Are you ok?”

Before her body was up, Su Qiuzi looked at He Yu with a nasally voice, she answered, “I’ll go to the guest room to sleep, so that I don’t infect you too much, being sick is not pleasant.”

He Yu looked at her and said, “No need, I have a good physique.”

At the time, in the elevator, she had also told Guan Lin the same thing, but in the end it still infected her. Su Qiuzi thought that He Yu should have been thinking that as he had accompanied her all night yesterday without getting infected, so he dropped the matter lightly. She looked at He Yu in front of her and whispered, “It’s not a matter of physique, it’s a matter of distance, if you get close, you can easily be infected.”

The fever medication worked and she was a little more lively than just now. He Yu looked at her with a watchful face, his eyebrows drooped slightly, and asked, “How close ?”

At that time in the elevator, Su Qiuzi was almost squeezed into Guan Lin’s arms. She roughly estimated the distance and moved her body twice towards He Yu’s side.

“About …”

She had just moved twice before she lost control of her balance and stumbled forward and buried herself in the man’s arms. She was already dizzy, but bumping her head against his chest, and now her face was cushioned against the man’s chest for a while, and she smelled the cool mint scent on his body despite the high fever.#pleasereadthischapteratfoxaholic.com

Su Qiuzi returned to her senses and her face became a little hot at once. Feigning composure, she propped her hands on the man’s chest and said, “Just…just this close.”

After saying that, she was a bit worried, and looked at him with a slight frown as she tilted her head and asked in a small voice, ”How is it? Is there anywhere uncomfortable?”

The man’s dark eyes were deep, like bottomless pools of raging water. He looked at her with his eyes hanging down, the corners of his lips faintly hooked, his brows tender.

“Hmm. The body is starting to get hot.”
